Presbyterian Medical Group has a team of in-hospital specialists, Presbyterian Inpatient Care Specialists (PICS), that will admit and care for all our patients while in the hospital. They communicate with us about admissions and discharges, sending us copies of notes, and they have access to our records. We can discuss questions with them, and we believe the patients benefit by having a hospital specialist who is dedicated to their inpatient care and is available all of the time.

All lab results are reviewed by your physician as soon as they are available. Abnormalities of major significance are reported by phone immediately upon review. Other lab results will be mailed to you after being reviewed. This generally takes from 1 to 3 weeks depending on the study ordered.

In general, you will not need to call for your lab results. However, if you have not heard from us after 4 weeks of having a test done, pease call us so that we can check on the status of your test.

Our policy is to ask you to fast for certain tests such as blood sugar or cholesterol. For annual physical exams, we ask that you contact our office prior to your appointment so that your lab tests can be done prior to your appointment with your doctor. For conditions like Diabetes or High Cholesterol, you will often be asked to have quarterly or semi-annual blood draws prior to your next appointment. The term fasting means no food (you can have water) for 8-12 hours.

We want you always to take medicines before a visit, even if you are fasting. The exception is for diabetes. If you are fasting and have diabetes, do not take your blood sugar medicine.

We like our patients to know the names and doses of their medicines. To be sure of your medication regimen, please bring all your medicine bottles, including medicines from other providers and non-prescription medications and supplements, to your visits.

Certain medications may need to be omitted before a test; please ask your provider about that. Some stress tests outside the office ask that you consume no caffeine containing products for 24 hours before the test. The scheduler can tell you if your test is of that type. Wear loose fitting clothing and comfortable shoes that will allow you to walk vigorously on a treadmill.

After hours, you will be instructed to call 911 for a life threatening emergency. For urgent medical problems needing attention before the next business day, please call our office number, 704-384-0588, and you will be transferred to the Triage Nurse helpline. For all other concerns (appointments, refills, general medical questions, etc.), we ask that you call the office the next business day.

To release records to a specialist or another practice, we need your written permission. We have forms in the office available for that purpose. The process of transferring records is time consuming, and we ask for two weeks to complete that work.

Our after hours phone system is focused on dealing with urgent health problems. Refills, appointments, billing questions, etc. cannot be handled by the triage nurses, and we ask that you call the office the next business day.
